At Least mice a Year Starter Switch
Fluid Level Check
Check the transfer case, axle differential(s) and
automatic or manual transmission fluid levels and add
as needed.
See “Transfer Case,” “Axle, Rear,” “Axle,
Front” and “Automatic Transmission” or “Manual
Transmission” in the Index.
A fluid loss in these systems
could indicate
a problem. Have the system inspected and
repaired at
once.
At Least Once a Year
Key Lock Cylinders
Lubricate the key lock cylinders with the lubricant
specified
in Part D.
Body Lubrication
Lubricate all body door hinges. Also lubricate all hinges
and latches, including those for the hood, rear
compartment, glove box door, console door and any
folding seat hardware. Part
D tells you what to use.
More frequent lubrication may be required when
exposed
to a corrosive environment.
1. Before you start, be sure you have enough room
around the vehicle.
2. Firmly apply both the parking brake (see “Parking
Brake”
in the Index if necessary) and the regular brake.
NOTE:
Do not use the accelerator pedal, and be
ready to turn
off the engine immediately if it starts.
3. On automatic transmission vehicles, try to start the
engine in each gear. The starter should work only in
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). If the starter works in
any other position, your vehicle needs service.
On manual transmission vehicles, put the shift lever
in
NEUTRAL (N), push the clutch down halfway
and try
to start the engine. The starter should work
only when the clutch is pushed down all the way to
the floor. If the starter works when the clutch isn’t
pushed
all the way down, your vehicle needs service.

Brake-Transmission Shift Interlock -- BTSI
(Automatic Transmission)
1.
2.
3.
Before you start, be sure you have enough room
around the vehicle. It should be parked on a level
surface.
Firmly apply the parking brake
(see “Parking Brake”
in the Index if necessary).
NOTE: Be ready to apply the regular brake
immediately if the vehicle begins to move.
With the engine off, turn the key
to the ON position,
but don’t start the engine. Without applying the
regular brake, try to move the shift lever out of
PARK
(P) with normal effort. If the shift lever
moves out of PARK (P), your vehicle’s BTSI needs
service.
Steering Column Lock
While parked, and with the parking brake set, try to turn
the key to
LOCK in each shift lever position.
0 With an automatic transmission, the key should turn
to
LOCK only when the shift lever is in PARK (P).
With a manual transmission, the key should turn to
LOCK only if you push the key in farther, while
turning it towards
LOCK.
On vehicles with a key release lever, try to turn the key
to
LOCK without pressing the lever. The key should
turn to
LOCK only with the key lever depressed.
On all vehicles, the key should come out only in LOCK.
